Description
Book Synopsisfor SATB and organ or small orchestra This much-loved carol is presented with background information and helpful performance hints. Recognising the frequency with which this piece is performed with organ accompaniment, John Rutter has made an organ reduction of the orchestral material. Conductor's scores and instrumental parts are available on sale and on hire.
Trade ReviewThe Shepherd's Pipe Carol remains fresh and conceptually original, and I am talking here about the whole package: effervescent music; touching text; and irrepressible Christmas spirit. If there were to be a 'Desert Island Carols' programme - and that would be quite hard to stomach, even for a carol-lover like myself - then Rutter's SPC would surely be one of the eight. * Jeremy Summerly, Choir & Organ September 2015 *
